Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Read Along Storybook | No Place Like Earth

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. No place like Earth. Hiya, everybody. Welcome to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Earth Day Party. Professor Von Drake is our speaker for the day. There he is. Today, we celebrate the place we all call home, the planet Earth. Oh, excuse me. What do you have there, Mr. Tootles? Says Professor Von Drake. What does Tootles have for the professor? Yep, it's a globe. Aha! A globe is a map shaped like the Earth. The perfect mouse tool for my talk. Thank you, Mr. Tootles, says the professor. Hmm. The professor looks serious. He says, Earth needs our help. It is getting filled up with garbage. We must stop making so much garbage. Minnie says, when I have a picnic, I don't use paper plates. I use real plates, and then I wash and dry them so I can use them again. Right, says Daisy. I never use paper napkins. I use pretty cloth ones that I can use over and over. Gora says, Goofy, just lick my fingers. Er, yes, says the professor. Those are all good ways to cut back on trash. As I was saying, now Clarabelle jumps in. I don't use plastic or paper grocery bags. In my store, customers use canvas bags. Aren't they cute? Thank you, Miss Clarabelle, says the professor. Another way to make less trash is to share things. For example, toys. Yells Donald. I always share my toys. Right, says Pete. Donald lets me play with his lion sometimes, and I let him play with Clyde, my monkey. Very good, says the professor. Sharing is an excellent way to reuse things. There are other ways to use things more than once such as, ooch, ooh. I know. Eh. Hail. He leaps on stage. When my socks get old, I don't throw them away. I use them to make puppets see. Oh, sorry. Pete says. I guess I should wash the socks first, huh? Goofy splashes water on poor Professor Von Drake. Good job, Goofy. Ack, water. Says the professor. The earth is running out of clean water. What I was going to say next is that. We need to save water, shouts Goofy. I do that by taking shorter showers. I use a timer, and the bell rings after three minutes to let me know I'm done. I save water when I brush my teeth. First I wet the toothbrush, then I turn off the water while I brush. Woof, barks Pluto. Right, boy. Pluto and Butch save water when they take a bath together. Minnie giggles. And Figaro saves water by not taking any baths or showers. Professor Von Drake sighs. The earth is also running out of the fuels to make electricity. What I want to say about that is, here comes Tootles again. What mouse tool does Tootles have? That's right. It's a light switch. Very good, Mr. Tootles. As I was saying. Turn out the lights, shouts Goofy. That saves electricity. I used to turn off the lights all the time. Now I know you should turn them out when you leave the room, not when you come in. Ay-hi-yuck. Professor Von Drake says. Our earth is also running out of the fuel that runs our cars. So what I must tell you is, carpool, says Minnie. Ride a bike, says Daisy. Or a skateboard, says Goofy. I'll always say there's nothing like using your own two feet. Or, in Pluto's case, your own four feet. Hot dog. You sure taught us a lot, Professor. Thanks. Professor Von Drake says. You all taught me something, too. Every day is Earth Day at the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. You betcha. Happy Earth Day, everyone.
